No, Garth Brooks didn’t go out of his way to show support for Sen. Bernie Sanders, despite what many people thought.
The country music legend posted a photo of himself on Instagram and Facebook wearing a Barry Sanders jersey following his concert last weekend in Detroit.
Barry Sanders is a former star player for the Detroit Lions.
But the Lions running back wore the number 20, fooling many fans of Brooks. When Brooks showed off the back of his jersey that reads “Sanders 20,” fans ripped Brooks for thinking he was donning a jersey repping the presidential candidate running for the 2020 Democratic nomination.

“If that’s a Bernie shirt I just lost a lot of respect for you,” chimed in another fan.
“No Thanks! Trump 2020,” another woman said.
“If this is for Bernie Sanders, I’m done with you. I thought you were a true American that loves our country,” one commenter said.
